Tickets have gone on sale this morning for Jools Holland at next summer's Rochester Castle Concerts.

Jools, who lives in Cooling, is one of two acts for the summer series that have been announced ahead of Christmas.

He will be playing in the Castle Gardens on Wednesday, July 18, with The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra returning to the Castle Proms on Saturday, July 21.

Tickets for both went on sale at 10am this morning - just in time for Christmas presents.

Jools was a regular at the Castle Concerts over several years, but this will be his first show there since 2009.

He found fame as the keyboard player with Squeeze and has since worked with iconic artists including Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Sting, B.B. King and Paul Weller.

Tickets cost £35 for Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra and £30 for the Castle Proms.

Visit The Central Theatre box office, The Brook Theatre box office or Medway Visitor Information Centre, call 01634 338338 or visit www.castleconcerts.co.uk.

The concerts are organised by Medway Council and the full line-up of acts will be announced in the new year.
